When you have decided where your heel wants to go you can pick up the needed stitches – usually about 50% of the stitches of the round – with a double pointed needle. After you have picked up the same columns of stitches two rounds away on a second double pointed needle, you will cut away the round separating the needles. At that point you can separate your stitches to easily knit your heel, which is often a wedge heel with this style of construction.
A variation on the Afterthought Heel is the Peasant Heel, seen in this video.
